Position of Jesus (pbuh) in Islam:
(i)Islam is the only non-Christian faith, which
makes it an article of faith to believe in Jesus
(pbuh). No Muslim is a Muslim if he does not
believe in Jesus (pbuh).
(ii) We believe that he was one of the mightiest
Messengers of Allah (swt).
(iii) We believe that he was born miraculously,
without any male intervention.
Muslims also believe Jesus;the son of Mary spoke in his Cradle.
(iv) We believe he was the Messiah translated
Christ (pbuh).
(v) We believe that he gave life to the dead with
God’s permission.
(iv) We believe that he healed those born blind,
and the lepers with God’s permission.
Muslims also believe he would be coming back towards the END OF TIME to destroy the Dajjal(anti Christ) and all he stands for.
if your believe is in line with the above, you are inch closer to salvation and eternal bliss.
WE SHOULD ALL STRIVE HARD TO LEARN ABOUT THE GENESIS OF OUR RELIGION, NOT FROM ADULTERATED SOURCES NOR FROM DUBIOUS PERSONALITY THAT CLAIMS TO BE KNOWLEDGEABLE.

Nice write up. But I'd like to point out that we do not keep beard because of Jesus A.S but because Mohammad S.A.W encouraged it. I may be wrong though.

You are absolutely correct dear brother.... its the Sunnah of The Rasul...... My intention was to point it out that Jesus was also bearded..... May Allah forgive My errors and reward you for your act..... Jazakhallahu Khairan.

Do you believe He died?

alexis: Do you believe He died?

Hello Alexis....... No Jesus; the son of Mary was not killed. God took him to himself (Ascension)........

"And for their unbelief, and their uttering against Mary a grave false charge, and for their saying, 'We killed the messiah, Jesus son of Mary, the Messiah of God"…yet they did not slay him, neither crucified him, only a likeness of that was shown to them. Those who are at variance concerning him are surely in doubt the following of conjecture; and they did not kill him of certainty…no indeed; God raised him up to Him; God is Almighty, Allwise. There is not one of the people of the book but will assuredly believe him before his death, and on the Resurrection Day he will be a witness against them." (An-Nissa 4:156-159).....

Thanks for providing the verse I appreciate it. The reason I asked was for clarification and I will like you to clarify my next question because I am a bit confused. You established from the Quran that Jesus never DIED and God "Allah" took him to himself.

Other parts of the Quran said Jesus DIED:

Surah Al-Imran 3:55 === "Behold! Allah said, O Jesus, I wil cause thee to DIE and raise thee to myself, and clear thee of those who blaspheme; I will make those who follow thee superior to those who disbelieve (in you), even to the day of the Resurrection. Then shall ya all return unto me, and I will judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute"

Here the Quran not only mentions the death of Christ, contradicting the verse you quoted. The Quran also mentions the death of Jesus Christ here:

Surah Maryam 19:33 === "So peace is on me, the day I was born, the day I DIE, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)"

Here are two verses in the Qu'ran speaking of the death of Jesus Christ, and one verse that said He did not die!. Can you please explain or through more light.

Thanks

In The Name of The Only GOD, Allah, The Very Merciful, The All Merciful, The Praiseworthy. As salaamu alaykum, The peace be on you, everyone.

You are right, I missed the numbers. I have corrected them. Thanks for pointing it out

Answer:
JESUS (PBUH) SAID, "THE DAY THAT I DIE", NOT "THE DAY THAT I DIED"
It is mentioned in Surah Maryam, Chapter 19 verse 33

"So Peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die and the Day that I shall be raised up to life (again)". [Al-Quran 19:33]

The Quran mentions that Jesus (pbuh) said "Peace is on me the Day I was born, the day that I die". It is not stated "the day that I died". It is in the future tense and not in the past tense.

WE believe jesus christ(peace be upon him) will come back and later will die in a natural death.
And the raise up to life(again) means: the day of judgment.



JESUS (PBUH) WAS RAISED UP ALIVE
The Quran further says in Surah Nisa, Chapter 4 verse 157-158:

"That they said (in boast),˜ We killed Jesus Christ the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah. But they killed him not, Nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not. Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is exalted in Power, Wise." [Al-Quran 4:157-158]

Thanks brothers for clarifying those verses for Alexis.....
Alexis, hope you understand the explanations now. Those who reject the TRUE teachings of Jesus; the Son of Mary has totally rejected faith. Dear Alexis, i would implore you to take some time out and study Al-Islam, not from the Media, not from events and happenings around the world but from the Qur'an and Hadith.

You seem to be adding your own meaning to the Quran ayenny02. Why would Allah mention the death of Jesus if he didn't intend for him to die?

If Jesus is with Allah right now, why would he come back and die a natural death again?

Your desperate attempt is clearly not what the author of the Quran said. Why didn't Allah made is clear then. At best, there is a lot of confusion here

I am a student of the Quran and his explanation has no basis in the Quran mate. The author of the Quran would have made it clear that he didn't want Jesus to die yet the same author talked about Jesus death in the present tense. So, Allah should have been more clearly as to what he meant

alexis:

I will advice you to study the arabic verses, you will understand very well. Al-Quran is ONE ARABIC BOOK an arabic language with different translation.

alexis:

Why would Allah mention the death of Jesus if he didn't intend for him to die?

If Jesus is with Allah right now, why would he come back and die a natural death again?

The Quran tells us that they did not kill him and they did not crucify him and that Allah raised him up to Him. In none of the verses, is there an actual reference to his murder or that he was killed in Quran.
Furthermore, Allah (God) also says in the Quran, "And he (Jesus shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Resurrection); therefore have no doubt about it (the Hour). And follow me (Allah), this is a Straight Path." (Quran 43: 61)

Some of the reason why he is coming back are;
1) The Jews believe that they killed Prophet Jesus(AS), Allah will send him before the end of time to prove that they did not killed him and that he is alive. It is Jesus who will fight and the kill Dajjal (Anti-christ). 

2)  Protect the Muslims from  Yajuj and Majuj (Gog & MaGog) by taking them to Mount Tur and then praying to Allah to make Yajuj and Majuj perish.

3)  It is the Law of Allah that anything created from the Earth has to be buried in the Earth and not in the Heavens. Thus, he will return to the Earth for the second time, kill the Dajjal, live for a period of time and then he will die a natural death and will be buried

A person who can't explain how many days Allah created the world is here telling me that I don't know about the Quran . It's common for people like you who can't engage in debate to attack others . In between, we are still waiting for the Bible the Jews threw at their back and got lost

The contention is this - the Jews indeed KILLED Him, as documented in the Bible. Mohammed came 600 years later with no evidence and said other-wise. So, whose account should we believe?

The truth will always prevail and Quran has said it already. The only problem was the bible, I have explained how jesus was not killed and not crucified, see it here;

That is the difference mate - your Quran has no historical evidence . Mohammed received a revelation from "Angel Gabriel" concerning this matter. He never went to Israel to confirm for himself. Yet muslims believe every single account irrespective of it's historical evidence.

He said the same thing when Jesus was born - Jesus never spoke as a baby; we all know that is incorrect . Jesus was never born under a palm tree. Palm trees don't grow in that part of the world. Yet muslims like yourself ignore all these facts and close your eyes and believe what Mohammed said.

He is the same one that said a fly carriers sickness in one wing and the anti-dote to that sickness in another wing - factually and scientifically, is that correct?

He is the same man that said if you pray with your eyes lifted up to heaven, it will be snatched out of your head. Does that make any sense to you?

Yet this is the same man you want me to take his account on the death of Jesus Christ?

Listen, you started the attack on my character; I simply responded back. If you didn't have my time, you wouldn't have posted here. It appears you know more than Allah who wasn't sure how many days He created the world. Your response was - he wanted his followers to think he created the world in 2 days when that was clearly what not the Quran meant. You have to try harder
